I'm broke and can't wait for the 14th January but that is more than a month away... oh dear. Otherwise, despite the fact that we just had a week off I need more time to sleep etc... I am really rather tired, and am not managing my time properly. Have completed my essay (due in tomorrow) and didn't have to stay up until 2am so maybe I am managing my time better than I think I am!
Moonlighting has started on CBS Drama and has 'series-linked' it. I love Bruce Willis AND the Moonlighting theme tune. Woohoo!! So that's my evening's sorted out, eh?
Going to sleep now. ZZZzzzzzz

I am a geek. Yay!
I have submitted both of my due assignments 2 days early. Now I can sit back and chill out and watch Zombieland and read Silas Marner... and Nietszche. Woohooooo!
Such a nerd!
Let's hope this organised trend continues!
On a different note: how loud do these TV channels want adverts to be? I just nearly had my ears exploded!

Victoria in the future is happy
It's been a long time! ach well the clocks went back and so we gained an hour, which I have wasted sitting here watching Sunday morning TV on BBC 2. Got a couple of assignments to do and MUCH reading to plough through, but I'll be alright. As you can see in the future I am happy.
What you do to get your equally odd message is write something, translate it into Japanese, then back again, etc until you reach an equilibrium. Postsecret did it. My message started out as Victoria is happy now... clearly I am not!
Tried to watch a movie called Autumn. It's a zombie film, based on the books (that I loved) by Dave Moody. The movie was rather disappointing though. Hmmm shall try to watch it all the way through and reserve judgment til then. Also, watched Taken. What a fantastic film! Brilliant. Nuff said. Gonna watch Zombieland on Weds (hopefully), hope it's good. Not great reviews but it's gotta be OK enough hey? I mean, it IS about zombies. My favourite... ?
Anyway shall close-read a passage from Jane Eyre and write some shit about it (probably)... Fun, fun, fun. I need a coffee!

I want my mum to come back from Germany
I miss her.
My dog's been sleeping with me in my bed and is not a generous sleeper. She keeps nudging me in the face. Tut
Very glad to be back at uni' and college is going okay too. Very busy and rather happy. Busy = happy you see so that's a relief!
Am going to sleep now as I have to get up early for lectures. woohoo!

A-tishoo
atishoo we all fall down.
Went to the Imperial War Museum yesterday, with my History pal. the sheep-farmer's daughter. It was so nice (and without sounding like a complete arsehole) to talk to someone who I didn't have to explain anything to. Anyway, we had some wine and discussed how awful The Guardian is, but that we continue to read it and the fact that she is 'a self-loathing Guardian reader' but not a liberal-leftie. My excuse is it's 30p from the University shop. We also talked about history, Charlie Brooker, Jo Brand, My thick mate, and her sister. It was very pleasant... And although we did the sensible thing of drinking water I still woke up rather hungover. Not good. :(
My mum is in Germany and was a little worried that no one would speak English. She's Spanish and used to going 'home' for holiday time, but this time went to visit her sister in Deutschland. She didn't believe me when I told her that many Germans spoke English. Went to water her plants, but a mouse scared me. Hopefully it'll rain! PLEASE rain. My mum will KILL me!
Lectures start tomorrow. Thank God. I have sorted everything that needed sorting and have received my student loan. Bought some trainers and clothes and a miniature Victoria Cross. What more do I need? Am really looking forward to tomorrow. Although it's Writing the First World War and so quite sad and depressing etc, it'll be so good to put my brain to use!
I have spent too long looking up alternatives to the QWERTY keyboard and now feel I know enough about it to be 'informed'. One thing though; how LONG would it take to get used to any other type of keyboard?
Anyway, must dash. Off to blow my nose. Hence the title of this post. I am being adversly affected by my rhinitis. AH-Tishooooo!

Nearly...
Next week's my 2nd year induction, so this long (not hot) summer is finally over. I need to buy a coat, I can feel the chill in the air and am having to scrunch down in my bed so that there is no draught.
I finally got (most of) my books. A big box arrived yesterday and my friend thought some sort of optical illusion was going on. The books kept on coming and coming. As I explained to my bro', that isn't even all of them. Student loan really doesn't come at the right time for the buying of books, does it? My maths GCSE book came and I don't think I understand it. Most of the time I thought 'oh yeah, ok I get it' but then every task now and then I look and feel my brain cells dying.
ugh
Anyway, 2nd maths lesson tomorrow and then Tuesday is induction! Woohoo or no, sorry gotta be down with the kids, so w00t. Right?

Maths
Today I learned just how bad I am at maths. This is such a shame as I would like to think I have more than an ounce of intelligence. No matter though, onwards and upwards and all that jazz eh? Hey, I can only get better!
It was all decimals today and I made the major mistake of thinking that .o3 was the same as .3 when in fact it is the same as .30, great huh? At least I have a good understanding of negative numbers and the 'number line' and I know how to write numbers as words and know how to write numbers in figures. I know that you're probably thinking everyone can do that you dick. You'd be wrong.
